People who love to watch Internet Videos on their television screens usually needed a separate device like a DVD Player, Video-Game Console or Set-Top Box with Internet Access. But now they can watch them directly on LG's new HDTVs. LG has announced a line of televisions that can directly receive Internet Video in addition to satellite and cable signals.

These line of LCD and Plasma Televisions will be called Broadband HDTVs and will cost $300 more than other same models without Internet access. It is to note that the owners of these HDTVs will not be able to browse the WEB freely. TV's processors and memory chips are not up to that task. But the Broadband HDTVs will have access to a variety of specific video sites. One site in specific which is going to be announced by LG is - Netflix.

These HDTVs will be able to broadcast any of the 12,000 films and television shows in Netflix's Watch Instantly library. Many of these films and shows are provided by Starz which is a premium cable television service.

It is obvious that more television makers like Samsung and Panasonic are surely to introduce similar devices. But televisions are not something like Softwares which we update/upgrade or change quite frequently. On an average a television set stays for a decade at one home. And people also have a short term solution to buy one Video-Game Console or a Blu-Ray Disc Player with Internet capabilities.
